FF7 riddles

[Starcrest]

the promised land?

[-N-]

Nope.

[Giga Guess]

I'm gonna g out on a limb here...Aeris' *Alleged* Ressurection?

[Maxico]

Im thinking the ending sequence.

[Big D]

Advent Children...?

Or Hironobu Sakaguchi and the rest of the writing team.

[PhoenixAsh]

I like Advent Children as a guess.

[-N-]

Advent Children is what I was referring to. Perhaps I added too many lines, but in any case, well solved.
Big D, I guess it's your turn.

[Starcrest]

dang howd u guess dat BigD? just a guess?

[Big D]

dang howd u guess dat BigD? just a guess?

Nah, it just kinda made sense to me... there's always a lot of speculation about "what happened next", with lots of fans who think they know for sure... however, the only ones who can really tell us are the creators themselves. And how to they tell us...? By making a sequel, hopefully one that'll answer all the unsolved puzzles.

Now, here's mine...

Some say it’s the same as what came before
But I would say that they’re just sore
that progress has been paving the way
For a brand new system to help you play
At the heart of the matter,
it’s the essence of life
The magic inside,
Shining through the strife
Bringing good or woe,
how can you know?
Someone thought that some of it was just for show
Now don’t be shy, just press reply
I’ll tell you if you’re right and never lie
So take a guess
Before the rest
The next riddle might be yours, so do your best!

[Maxico]

The materia system?

[one_winged_angel]

I really have to post here more... I just had to read 4 pages of riddles

I'm gonna say materia aswell but give a fuller answer

Some say it’s the same as what came before (referring to player's views on the materia system)
But I would say that they’re just sore (your view on their views)
that progress has been paving the way
For a brand new system to help you play (stuff they did in earlier games built up to this new system)
At the heart of the matter, (now actually talking about what it is)
it’s the essence of life (life stream, mako energy etc.)
The magic inside, (")
Shining through the strife (could be referring to the ending where it's the lifestream that destroys meteor)
Bringing good or woe, (materia can damage or heal, or that it can be used for good or bad)
how can you know? (you don't know, depends on the user)
Someone thought that some of it was just for show (Aeris thought that Holy was just decoration and was actually useless)
Now don’t be shy, just press reply (unnecessary stuff that makes it sound good )
I’ll tell you if you’re right and never lie
So take a guess
Before the rest
The next riddle might be yours, so do your best!

[Maxico]

Way to steal my answer angle.

Nah, you can take it if its right.

[Big D]

The materia system?

Exactly right. And I mean exactly.

one_winged_angel's reasons are quite close to what I was thinking when I wrote that riddle, but here's my explanation for a few of the lines...

Some say it’s the same as what came before
But I would say that they’re just sore...

I've seen the materia system criticised - mainly by die-hard old-schoolers - for being too similar to FFVI's Magicite system.

At the heart of the matter

Double-meaning here - the literal interpretation is right, but also, 'materia' is Latin for 'matter', hence "the heart of the matter".

But yeah, Maxico wins

[Maxico]

Ok im not great at this but Ill give it a shot.

At great heights
above glimmering lights
the power needed to lift
can be found in the local smith
the path is found by snitches
and will lead from rags to riches

Ok I know its terrible but I cant come up with anything better.

[PhoenixAsh]

The climb up from Wall Market up to the plate. If that's the answer it's kinda self explanatory so I won't break it down. I like the way you wrote that though.
